Sweet Potatoes With Lime Recipes

SWEET POTATOES WITH LIME

Steps:

• The small, purple-fleshed Hawaiian sweet potatoes that are sometimes found in the market are especially good this way. Choose firm, fresh sweet potatoes. Wash and scrub them well. Bake in a 375°F oven until tender, about 1 hour. When they are done, split the potatoes open, dot with butter, sprinkle with salt, and squeeze lime juice over them. Scatter a handful of coarsely chopped cilantro over them, if you like.

CHILI LIME ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees f.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk lime zest, juice, oil, sea salt and chili flakes.
• Rinse and scrub your sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat the excess moisture with a paper towel.
• Carefully cut your potatoes into large pieces using a very sharp knife.
• Add your potato pieces onto the bowl of prepared lime dressing, tossing until very well coated.
• Now spread the potatoes onto your prepared baking sheet in a single layer, with space in between, and bake for 30 minutes flipping halfway through until fork tender and nicely browned.
• Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, and crumbled cotija cheese if desired. Serve while warm and enjoy!

• Preheat a grill to medium or place a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. Mix 1 tablespoon salt, the lime zest and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Brush the potato wedges with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on all sides (including the skin) and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter; immediately season with the salt mixture and sprinkle with cilantro.

Whisk together lime juice and remaining tablespoon oil in a medium bowl, then add potatoes. Sprinkle with cayenne mixture and cilantro, stirring gently to combine.

Simmer until slightly resistant in center when pierced with a sharp small knife, 25 to 30 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain well. When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes with a sharp small knife and quarter lengthwise.
• Prepare grill for cooking.
• Whisk together lime juice, salt, and pepper and add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in cilantro.
• When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds), grill potatoes in 2 or 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack (over coals if using a charcoal grill), uncovered, turning, until grill marks appear and potatoes are just tender, 3 to 6 minutes total.

• While potatoes roast, bring water, sugar, and lime juice to a boil in a very small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then simmer until reduced to about 3 tablespoons, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss potatoes with syrup and zest in a large bowl, then sprinkle with chives.
